Person Dies at Schlitterbahn Kansas City
Oldschool75 replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Mr. BAlvey also seems to claim that if the parents had been on the slide they could have calmed him or prevented him from removing the restraint. If that was indeed a problem. Let's think about that. TTD is a quick intense ride with about the same duration. So next time you are on it try and have a conversation and reassure the person in the row in front of you. After launch of course. If you disagree with anything he posts you are a "stupid idiot" and will almost certainly receive a permanent ban. The 400-550lb range is very narrow. Say you have three 190lb adults that want to ride. Can't do all three or even just 2. Have three 100lb kids, can't do it. Reportedly kids are often used as filler to balance out the ride. If a lawyer is able to establish that in court...... And there are ways to handle that...see Mammoth at HW. There is a scale the riding party gets on. Not that hard. Sent from my iOS 10 device -

There is a weight restriction. I know the age restriction was removed. Question is How was this kid allowed to ride? I see this slide never reopening and being dismantled. Sent from my iOS 10 device -

I'd be happy if they removed our Eagles from Carowinds to make room for the new flats, and bring it home where it belongs! Sent from my iOS 10 device -

true, though he states that he asked if he could wear his Gopro on each ride since it was on his wrist and that some of them told him it was ok in fact one part u see the ride op talking to his camera However, many rides at KI state that cameras are strictly prohibited. Unless you have permission... I believe. They don't even allow re-rides. As far as I know, the park has been very firm about filming on rides. All the approved filming has been done using a mounted camera on the train, with the inspection and approval of Mr. Kramer. Sent from my iOS 10 device

Mean Streak Gets the Axe September 16th
Oldschool75 replied to JubJester's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Folks, it's getting transformed. So please enough of "this will fit there, or that will". They are not going to mark the footings on the ride and other places if they are tearing the whole things down. Be realistic. I'm thinking they will probably get a RMC treatment. If not, I think CF will start losing platinum pass sales due to enthusiasts moving over to Six Flags or smaller parks; that are willing to think outside the box or be edgy.

Oldschool75 replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
When Greg said 2 major announcements. I was thinking, oh Winterfest. But after thinking about it, I'll agree with CoastersRZ; I think it would be a bit early for them to announce Winterfest for 2017. I'm thinking. If MT is probably between 10-13 million, and the parks 45th is next year, and GCI is in the house....maybe a Racer refresh?? Not change it per say, just maybe some retracking, or a complete overhaul with new Millennium Flyers?? Sent from my iOS 10 device -

It's not time for a thread for this yet as the ride or attraction has not been announced. The admins will lock the decoding thread and open the proper construction thread when the ride is announced. Sent from my iOS 10 device
